After my first visit to Grotta Azzura I promised myself that I would return. I did, with friends, and was not disappointed. Superb service - friendly, smiling, unobtrusive - Mr and Mrs Bianconi themselves leading by example. Breakfast as expected in Italy - coffee as you want it and help yourself to meat, cheese, bread, pastries, preserves, fruit and fruit... More

This was our third visit to Norcia & the second time staying at the Hotel Grotta Azzurra--it was even better than the first time. The owner, Mrs. Bianconi, greeted my husband, son & me as though we were long lost family. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The rooms are not large but they are very clean, and the bathrooms...

We stayed as part of a walking group and enjoyed the charm of the owners and the hotels quirkiness , the location is also superb. Very disapointed with breakfast , just don't consider it is acceptable to provide fruit that isn't ripe and wouldn't have been for 3 to 4 days . Previous reviewers have also commented on this so...

This is my second stay in this hotel. Nothing changed in one year. Helpful and friendly staff, nice rooms, careful Bianconi family. In addition Grotta Azzura provides more than a regular three star hotel. Has a perfect location and a perfect restaurant. I really want to visit this hotal again.

I stayed for a week at this small family run hotel recently and found it to be terrific. The location, in the middle of this interesting walled town, is perfect. The family and staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly. Even before I arrived a staff member gave me a lot of help working out how to get from Norcia to... More

Within a walled town that is older than Rome itself, this family-run hotel offers great entertainment value in its many characters behind the front desk. The good-looking family, from Carlo and his wife cradling her 'piccolo Carlo,' the grandson, and all the other family members, are there to greet guests, all very charming and pleasant, going out of their way...

This is a good choice of hotel in Norcia, despite having been taken over by a chain (Best Western). Its sister hotel, the Palazzo Seneca, is more luxurious but the Grotta Azzurra is comfortable and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was right over the street so very noisy, but with the window shut and AC this... More

The staff of this hotel made an excellent first impression. They were very friendly and could not have been more helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet. The dining room was busy and had an old-world atmosphere. The set menu was good value and a carnivore's delight. The hotel is located right in the centre of Norcia. The town is... More

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of a self-guided vacation. We were greeted by one of the owners who are very good at what they do. We were lucky to have a room at the top floor away from the groups that can turn people like us off. Great bedroom, new bathroom, great service. breakfast so-so( a few... More
